Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover

ABSTRACT

The Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover is a safety metal grill cap that helps prevent objects from being inserted into exhaust pipes or tail pipes. The Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover is made of metal with at least four vertical wires or thin rods and at least eight horizontal wires or thin rods that is made onto the exposed ends of all exhaust pipes or tail pipes. The Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover can be made into a metal cap to fit over the exposed end of existing exhaust pipes or tail pipes. This grill will allow fumes to escape the exhaust pipe or tail pipe, and help prevent objects from being inserted into the exhaust pipes and tail pipes.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

I, Sheri Lynn Buckner, have a provisional application with theapplication No. 61836671 and a filing date of Jun. 19, 2013.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

My patented idea for the Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover is tocover the exposed end of any exhaust pipe or tail pipe with a metalgrill so that nothing can be inserted in the exhaust pipe or tail pipesuch as a sponge ball, a rag, etc. There are two options; first, anAutomotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover cap that can be fitted ontoexisting exhaust pipes; or secondly, by making future exhaust pipes andtail pipes with a metal grill attached to the exposed end. Covering theexposed part of the exhaust pipe or tail pipe where the fumes areemitted greatly minimizes anything being inserted into the pipe thatcould cause a blockage and the backup of deadly carbon monoxidepoisoning. Because the covering would be in a metal grill form, fumeswould still be allowed to escape through the exhaust pipe or tail pipe.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The nature of my invention, the Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover, isto protect the opening of all exhaust pipes and tail pipes. This safetycover is made one of two ways; either in a 4 ½ inch long safety cap witha metal mesh grill and solid metal sides with a diameter to fit exhaustpipes and tail pipes that can be welded to any exhaust pipe or tailpipe, or it can be made as part of new exhaust pipes or tail pipes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:

The Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover can be made already attached tothe end of any exhaust pipe or it can be made like a metal grilled capthat fits onto the end of an existing exhaust pipe or tail pipe. Ifusing the cap, it will be welded or soldered onto the exhaust pipe ortail pipe. If using the cap, the area around the exhaust pipe or tailpipe needs to be wiped thoroughly clean before welding or soldering thecap onto the existing exhaust pipe or tail pipe. New tail pipes would bemade with the metal grill already attached at the exposed End B, andexisting automotive exhaust pipes or tail pipes can be fitted with themetal grill safety cap at any dealership or automotive service center.The importance of making the grill part (End B and End B1) out of metalis so that it cannot easily be cut or tampered with. All AutomotiveExhaust Pipe Safety Covers are metal grill covers with at least fourvertical wires or thin rods and at least eight horizontal wires or thinrods that is made onto all exhaust pipes or tail pipes, or made into acap to fit existing exhaust pipes or tail pipes.

End A is the end of the tail pipe that goes up into the car, truck,boat, RV, or any mechanical device that uses an exhaust pipe or tailpipe. End B is the end of the tail pipe that is exposed at the rear ofthe vehicle. It is shown with a metal grill safety cover over this end.End A1 is the end of the cap that fits onto existing exhaust pipes andtail pipes. End B1 is the end of the tail pipe that is exposed at therear of the vehicle. It is shown with a metal grill safety cover overthis end. Both of these drawings show my patented idea to have a metalgrill cover the exposed end of the exhaust pipe or tail pipe.

I. The Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover is an original idea createdby me, Sheri Lynn Buckner (Mustafa). II. The Automotive Exhaust PipeSafety Cover is a metal grill cover with at least four vertical wires orthin rods and at least eight horizontal wires or thin rods that is madeonto the exposed ends of all exhaust pipes or tail pipes; or made into acap to fit existing exhaust pipes or tail pipes. The Automotive ExhaustPipe Safety Cover will cover the exposed ends of all exhaust pipes andtail pipes. III. The Automotive Exhaust Pipe Safety Cover will permitexhaust fumes to escape any exhaust pipe or tail pipe while at the sametime protecting the exhaust pipe and tail pipe by minimizing the abilityfor objects to be inserted in the opening of the exhaust pipe or tailpipe that my cause a blockage and/or backup of deadly carbon monoxidepoisoning.
